Larian explains how Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is so big it impacts work on new games Larian StudiosAs Larian gears up for its next big release, the team is struggling to find ideas to make sure players get a new experience after Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Despite no plans for a DLC or sequel from Larian Studios, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is already a massive game. With so many dialogue options, quests, routes, and so on, it\u2019s impossible to experience everything in one playthrough. So far, we know Larian has confirmed they\u2019re working on two \u201cvery ambitious RPGs.\u201d While fans are hyped to see what they\u2019re cooking next, an interview with PCGamer has revealed that the award-winning studio is faced with a particular challenge following Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s success. \u201cOne of the biggest problems we have now is that whenever we\u2019re talking about things, we say we did that in BG3,\u201d said writing director Adam Smith. \u201cAnd it turns out, we did a lot of things in BG3 when we think back to it. It\u2019s the classic \u2018Simpsons did it\u2019 problem.\u201d For Larian, however, this isn\u2019t a new problem, as a similar issue arose in the past when they were still working on the Divinity Original Sin series and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. \u201cIt was the same during development,\u201d claimed Smith. \u201cHave they already seen this pattern? Have they already used these verbs in this order? Have they already had this emotional arc? So you\u2019re constantly trying to make sure that they\u2019re getting a new experience, and you\u2019re not just repeating yourself, and you\u2019re not just giving them content for the sake of content.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has truly set the bar very high, with the game still having an impressive player count more than a year after release. While not much information about their new titles has been shared, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how development goes as time passes. Luckily for fans, Larian has just set up a brand new \u201ccommunity-focused\u201d YouTube channel to celebrate Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s anniversary, where they plan to feature \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d videos on their \u201cnext big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
